Sue Vincent starts the week off with something very amusing, while at the same time, very contemplation-worthy. Click on over to the Daily Echo and read for yourself. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did! Clever, clever Sue! 🙂

“Defy me?” says Routine. “Try something new?” asks Habit.
“Yep,” cries Rebellion. “Absolutely!” answers Adventure.
Lines are drawn, this could get ugly. Mediocrity and Excitement peek out from their respective corners. Wont and Want draw weapons….
Fate steps in as referee… demands to see their battle plans…
… and laughs…
“How about this for a suggestion?” says she. “Admit defeat.”
Rebellion and her cohorts cry out in protest determined to break the siege. Routine and his band stiffen belligerently…
“Think about it….” says Fate, a wise and knowing smile upon her face.
“Adventure will never admit defeat, “says Habit. “Rebellion always pushes the bounds…”
“Routine always tries to win,” protests Adventure. “Habit will never surrender quietly.”
“Exactly,” says Fate, looking just a little smug.

I forgot to add I really loved the artwork, too, though I must say, I’m not at all sure what those Moirai are up to! Somehow, I don’t think they’re in the middle of some innocent game of chance! 😀 😀 😀

Especially since “chance” and “fate” seem diametrically opposed. But it also occurs to me that at least one member of this trio–maybe even two–look far more masculine than how they are often described. I think I need to look into the story of this painting in more depth. I do know there are several (probably many!) variations of the descriptions of the Fates, but I don’t know nearly enough to figure out what this particular painting means. I’m sure the donkey, owl, crocodile/lizardy thing, and the weird bat thing represent specific ideas. Must do some research, now. (See what you started?) 😀

You’ll find Wki a good starting point 🙂 The painting is called The Night of Enitharmon’s Joy 🙂
